- Hydrogen is an ideal fuel in many respects; for example, the product of its combustion, water, is nonpolluting. The heat given off in burning hydrogen to gaseous water is 5.16 104 Btu per pound. What is this heat energy in joules per gram? (1 Btu = 252 cal; see also Table 1.4.)arrow_forwardOne beaker contains 156 g of water at 22 C, and a second beaker contains 85.2 g of water at 95 C. The water in the two beakers is mixed. What is the final water temperature?arrow_forwardThe Group 2A carbonates decompose when heated. For example, BaCO3(s)BaO(s)+CO2(g) Use enthalpies of formation (see Appendix C) and calculate the heat required to decompose 6.50 g of barium carbonate.arrow_forward
- Conversion of Energy Units The complete combustion of a small wooden match produces approximately 512 cal of heat. How many kilojoules (kJ) are produced?arrow_forward9.15 Carry out the following conversions of energy units: (a) 14.3 Btu Into calories, (b) 1.4105 cal into joules, (c) 31.6 mJ into Btuarrow_forwardThe initial temperature of a 344-g sample of iron is 18.2 C. If the sample absorbs 2.25 kJ of energy as heat, what is its final temperature?arrow_forward
- An aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg. (a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle? (b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C? (c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and a specific heat of 4.184 J/g C)?arrow_forwardHomes may be heated by pumping hot water through radiators. What mass of water will provide the same amount of heat when cooled from 95.0 to 35.0 C, as the heat provided when 100 g of steam is cooled from 110 C to 100 C.arrow_forwardAn iron skillet weighing 1.63 kg is heated on a stove to 178C. Suppose the skillet is cooled to room temperature, 21C. How much heat energy (in joules) must be removed to affect this cooling? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC).arrow_forward
- When ice at 0C melts to liquid water at 0C, it absorbs 0.334 kJ of heat per gram. Suppose the heat needed to melt 38.0 g of ice is absorbed from the water contained in a glass. If this water has a mass of 0.210 kg and a temperature of 21.0C, what is the final temperature of the water? (Note that you will also have 38.0 g of water at 0C from the ice.)arrow_forwardWhen one mole of calcium carbonate reacts with ammonia, solid calcium cyanamide, CaCN2, and liquid water are formed. The reaction absorbs 90.1 kJ of heat. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction. (b) Using Table 8.3, calculate Hf for calcium cyanamide.arrow_forwardWhen one mole of nitroglycerine, C3H5(NO3)3(l) decomposes, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and liquid water are formed. The decomposition liberates 5725 kJ of heat. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction. (b) Using Table 8.3, calculate Hf for nitroglycerine.arrow_forward
